Hello friends. I have been out of the loop for a little while but I just noticed that the top pop for the 66 PR RD went to 2. When did I miss that. Anyone know what, when or who? That's a very tough date in high grades as we all know. There are only 2 66+RBs and no 67s of any color.

I saw the coin in Chicago and realized that it was a PR65 from here.

$8812 ---> $19975

Not bad.

Frankly it is probably the better of the two PR66's, but still not a 66 in my book.

Thank you sir. Nice sleuthing! Since I'm just looking at a scan I will take your highly respected MPL opinion about it.

Nice $10,000 payday for someone.

The new owner must be trying for an upgrade. The cert number from the September sale is already invalid.

Are those 5 scratches on the reverse on the holder?

I hope so!

It appears from the slab image that the streaks are on the coin. Having said that, it is probably a finger swipe that is exaggerated by the poor photo/scan. I will trust Renomed's opinion given his MPL expertise.
